Returning Student
Ready to return to complete your degree!? We are here to help.
The following information is intended for undergraduate students who previously attended CSUSM, did not complete an undergraduate degree, and are interested in returning to CSUSM in order to complete graduation requirements to earn a diploma.
Returning graduate students must reapply for admission. Please visit the Graduate Studies page for more information.
You are considered a returning student if you:
- applied and were admitted to a degree program at CSUSM, and
- enrolled and earned grades in courses, and
- have not yet earned a degree from CSUSM, and
- have not enrolled/attended courses at CSUSM in the past two semesters (i.e., are no longer a matriculated student)
You are NOT a returning student if you:
- dropped all of your classes during the posted add/drop period of your first semester after being admitted, or
- have only attended CSUSM through Extended Learning's Open University, or
- already completed a degree at CSUSM.
